The first trumpet method to introduce jazz! The goal of this method book is to infuse all the elements of a good trumpet foundation at the initial stage so nothing is left to chance. Exercises in developing progress have been introduced at strategic intervals to ensure success so the beginning student will feel a sense of accomplishment. Of course, all music is based on a key signature, and therefore, the practice of all basic scales are addressed throughout. Many duets are introduced, and many familiar songs are also presented.

The Herbert L. Clarke Technical Studies for the Cornet has served many generations of trumpet players as the seminal book for the improvement of technical facility on the instrument. In an effort to introduce these great studies to less experienced trumpetists, Larry Clark has reorganized the studies in a key-centered approach to let developing players get comfortable with the studies in the easier keys first before moving on to more challenging ones. All of the studies are organized by key starting with the key of C major/A minor and moving on to one flat, one sharp, two flats, two sharps, etc., with the exception of the tenth study that focusses on grace notes. The eight etudes have been placed near the back of the book.

The classic scale and arpeggio studies of Gabriel Parès were adapted in the 1940s for like-instrument study by Rubank's Harvey Whistler, and are now the standard for elementary scale instruction. Presenting all the major keys up to four flats/sharps (and the relative minors), each unit also includes long tone and embouchure studies. Supplemental material includes comprehensive chromatic scales, fingering and speed studies, lip slurs (brass) and exercises to strengthen the upper register (woodwinds).

An outlined course of study designed to follow the elementary and intermediate levels of any instructional method, the Rubank Advanced Methods are considered to be one of the gold standards of advanced instrumental study. The specially designed units provide a complete pedagogy:

The next step for students who have completed the advanced level method for their instrument. The full-page etudes in this series, key-centered and supported by scale and arpeggio exercises, take the student to that next level of performance wherein their accumulated skills allow them to play full-length performance pieces with a high level of musicianship and competence. As such, many states include these pieces in their all-state audition lists.
